Cinque Terre, Beauty Village by the Mediterranean Sea

Cinque Terre Tourism, Beautiful Destinations in the Liguria Region


     Italy is very attached to beautiful and romantic things, as well as its tourist attractions. Many people make Italy as a destination for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. One of the favorite tourist destinations is the Cinque Terre, a beautiful village that stands on a rock on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Cinque Terre is a hilly coastal region on the Italian Riviera that is part of the Liguria region.

In Italian, Cinque Terre means the five villages. Because the Cinque Terre consists of five villages, namely Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso which are connected to each other by footpaths. The five villages have their respective beauty and uniqueness.

These villages are built on steep rocky cliffs facing the sea. The colorful color of the house makes it stand out in contrast to the blue sea, and also the sky as the background. Its beauty makes this village one of the world heritage sites designated by UNESCO.

In the past, Cinque Terre was an isolated village, because access to this place only relied on sea transportation by boat. However, since the railway line was opened in the 1870s, access to these villages has become easier.

Here are the five best places in the Cinque Terre. The scenery is incredibly beautiful.

Footpath Monterosso
The Monterosso Footpath is a road that connects Monterosso and Vernazza, which is a beautiful yet challenging road. On the trail, tourists will climb a number of eerie steps, but the views of the citrus groves and vineyards will pay for the horror. You can walk with your partner, while enjoying the natural scenery that is presented. But make sure that you are in excellent body condition.

Sentiero Vernazza a Corniglia

Sentiero Vernazza a Corniglia
Sentiero Vernazza a Corniglia is a hill connecting Vernazza with Corniglia. Along the way, hikers will enjoy views of meadows, olive groves and vineyards as they pass through the villages of Prevo and San Bernardino. You can also turn off the trail between the Cinque Terre villages to visit Guvano beach.
Some tourists recommend walking from Vernazza to Corniglia, as opposed to Corniglia to Vernazza, as the first part of the climb has a fairly high steep grade. Other travelers also recommend starting in the early morning, to avoid the crowds and midday sun. You better check the weather forecast in advance.

Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre

Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre
The Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre is one of the smallest national parks in Italy, with a population of about 4,000. In 1997, the Parco Nazionale Cinque Terre was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors love the ambiance, scenery, food and people, but also be warned that the city is full of tourists. Many plan day trips from Milan or Florence and recommend travelers who don't have a lot of time to do the same.

The Church of San Francesco

The Church of San Francesco
This church was constructed in the 17th century. The Church of San Francesco is also known as the Convento dei Cappuccini e Chiesa di San Francesco and the Abbey of the Capuchin Friars, as it contains many remarkable works of art, including "The Crucifixion" by Anthony van Dyck.

Cinque Terre Boat Tours

Cinque Terre Boat Tours
If you have very little time in the Cinque Terre, and want to get an overview of the area, many travelers recommend seeing the five cities by boat. This tour is accompanied by delicious snacks, drinks and Italian multicourse meals. If the weather is good, many boat operators stop in unknown coves along the tour for a short break.

If you are interested in visiting the Cinque Terre, make sure you are in top condition. Because most of the tourist attractions in this area are uphill and of course you have to walk.
